Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Berkshire, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Berkshire patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. a person with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and probably administered certain medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification center will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive oversight and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
